Why they need to show the true capability of the device? Bro, they are selling their service okay? Not just show to the people how pro or good the WiMAX. People just need to be have a truth prove. They didn't ask for much on the package. If most of the base station can't provide the speed. Then the package doesnt need to put until UP TO 10Mbps that so high?

Well there gonna be a second P1 gathering soon on 14th april (Tuesday), maybe you might wanna join in and directly consult and complaint to Michael Lai on this issue and see what is his feedback...

don't dream about future of malaysia ...

Is Wiggy RM149 with average speed (as according to threadstarter) 1.2-2Mbps performs better than Maxis 3G, Celcom 3G and UMobile or Digi?

Is 1.2-2Mbps sufficient for on-the-go usage?

If the advertised speed is not 10Mbps but 2Mbps, will you subscribe the RM149 package? Or you will choose Maxis 3G that advertise 3.6Mbps at RM88?

I think these are the valid questions that should be asked by anyone who wants to consider subscribing and I think it's a fair question.

PMFJI so late. I just came across this thread and finished reading it from the start.

I did check out P1 (and others) at the PC Fair and posted some general points at:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/994382

I remember a P1 salesperson saying that the Wiggy is 10Mbps shared. Shared being the keyword. As I said in my post referred to above, I was rather disappointed with the demos that I did not really ask much more details. But the sharing would be based on how many users are using / connected to a base station.  I did ask the salesperson whether I would actually get 10Mbps or less, and if less, what could be expected. The answer was 1-2Mbps.

The salesperson was in fact promoting the regular desktop modem package rather than the Wiggy. With the 1-2Mbps answer, it seemed to me that the main difference would be one was portable and the other not. But of course, the normal 1-2Mbps packages would not get you speeds more than that (the salesperson referred to this as dedicated), but the Wiggy could.

When I was there, the demos were not working properly at all. I didn't see any speed test showing 7 or 8Mbps etc. I even complained about that to them saying that how can they expect people to judge the service if they cannot demonstrate  it properly. Hmmm... maybe they set up a indoor base station after that...??

To stringfellow, it appears that your immediate decision should be whether you should return the Wiggy for a refund or go into a 1 year contract. Forget the advertising part for this. If you are happy getting the speeds you are able to for the price you are paying and think it is worth it, then you may want to carry on. If not, then return it.

What you could try to do is to call P1 management and list out your complaints. Perhaps you could request the 7 days to be extended a further 1-2 weeks so that you can do more testing before deciding.

Whether you wish to take on the advertising issue with P1 can come later. The speeds are not going to change with a change in their advertisment. I mean, eg, if they now say 5Mbps instead of 10Mbps, would you still be happy paying RM149 monthly for the revised advertised speed? Or would you then think it is not worth it as RM149 was supposed to be for 10Mbps, not 5Mbps.

Well, a company should not have salespersons or promoters there who don't know the product or cannot explain it to customers. This is not just about P1, but any company. I was just repeating what they told me. Since I was not impressed , I didn't bother to ask further.

Yes, first I tried the demos next to TM booth. Then later on the one next to Umobile (or IzzyNet). Then later on in the other hall upstairs (carpeted hall).

I don't know if you work at P1 or just helping out. Nothing against you. In any exhibition, everything must be setup and in place before it opens. Not being prepared properly itself gives a bad impression to visitors.

Anyway, I was just giving my input mainly to stringfellow.

Which area are you at HeHeHunter ? Could you also do a test to a US and Europe server?

HeHehunter which part of puchong are you?

I'm in puchong too but the last time i tried the wiggy its so not stable.

Thank you for the results. Well, it does seem you should have better surfing experience to both local and US sites using P1 instead of Streamyx - at least until TM rectifies their connection to US.

I've posted this few months back before Wiggy was revealed and guess they got the whole idea from there:

This is how their micro indoor base transceiver unit should look like:

well the time will come in boleh land if you get what im trying to say... hahaha

well no harm done...

let's get back to the real topic.. any response black n white from p1, regarding unethical marketing tactics..

can they be sued for false/misleading advertising ?

I guess P1 read the complaints here or they got lots of cancellations. They added a disclaimer on their mainpage saying that average speed is 1 - 3msp subject to netowrk conditions. They should have done that from the beginning. At least they will think twice before trying to mislead the smart consumer.

i think 1 way of using cheap price for 10mbps internet
jus get the wiggy for RN149 per month and the acer aspire ONE.Then sell the Laptop, then you can get the 10mbps internet under RM90 a month bcos the laptop cann sell up to RM1499 for new one

The fair usage of Upload + Download = 20GB is very low even for normal surfing with all that multimedia, music and video streaming.

This month I've already used Down-98.34 GB, Up-33.82 GB, Total-132.16 GB as of 21st April on my 1mb screamyx line. Consider that during the 1st 2 weeks of this month there was a massive slow down at TM and I was still able to consume this amount of bandwidth. I admit this this a shared line between 3 persons. We seldom p2p, mostly just youtube, facebook, dota, skype, usual forums, blogs... things etc. Even a third of what we've consume is already over Wiggy's 20mb fair usage cap by mid month.

I hope P1 can increase their fair usage limit to match todays web surfing habits more closely. I personally believe 40GB-50GB is more appealing. What good is fast speed when you can only get it for 2 weeks every month.
